What we’re learning about workers taken from CNY factory in ICE raid: Approximately 70 workers detained during an immigration raid at a protein bar plant in Cato have been transferred to a Texas border detention center. Elizabeth Ramirez-Abrams reported that her husband, 46-year-old Hediberto “Big Eddie” Ramirez-Perez, called briefly on Saturday to inform her of the transfer. According to advocates, many detainees had valid paperwork or pending immigration appeals that should have prevented their detention. Ramirez-Abrams and others and others said ICE agents separated the workers into two groups: Hispanic and non-Hispanic. The Hispanic group was herded into the break room. The non-Hispanic group was ordered to leave. The raid, conducted by ICE with assistance from local sheriff’s deputies, left at least a dozen children returning from their first day of school to find one or both parents missing.
Ex-Liverpool superintendent accuses board member of costing him job: Daniel Henner, who resigned as Liverpool schools superintendent last year with a $407,000 buyout, claims board member Jecenia Bresett made defamatory statements that cost him a job opportunity in the Malone Central School District. The lawsuit alleges Bresett violated their separation agreement by disparaging him to Malone officials, causing them to withdraw a job offer. Henner is seeking phone records and correspondence as evidence.
